12 CFR Ch. III

Semiannual Agenda of Regulations

AGENCY:

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

ACTION:

Semiannual regulatory agenda.

SUMMARY:

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is hereby publishing items for the Spring 2002 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The agenda contains information about FDIC's current and projected rulemakings, existing regulations under review, and completed rulemakings.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Persons identified under regulations listed in the agenda. Unless otherwise noted, the address for all FDIC staff identified in the agenda is Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20429.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Twice each year, the FDIC publishes an agenda of regulations to inform the public of its regulatory actions and to enhance public participation in the rulemaking process. Publication of the agenda is in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The FDIC amends its regulations under the general rulemaking authority prescribed in section 9 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1819) and under specific authority granted by the Act and other statutes.

A number of the actions identified in this agenda have been developed to implement provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or to implement other recent statutory mandates. Many of the FDIC's regulatory actions are coordinated with other Federal regulators of financial institutions, primarily the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRS), and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS). In some cases, the FDIC also coordinates with the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA).

Interested persons may petition the FDIC for the issuance, amendment, or repeal of any regulation by submitting a written petition to the Executive Secretary, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Washington, DC 20429. Petitioners should include complete and concise statements of their interest in the subject matter and reasons why the petitions should be granted.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary.

Abstract:

In 1994, the FDIC sought comment on a proposal to revise the assessment base used by insured institutions to determine the premium paid for deposit insurance. That initiative did not lead to a proposed rule. Instead, the FDIC plans to revisit the issue with a new ANPRM on alternative options for the deposit component of the assessment base and on options regarding the float deduction and use of average daily deposit balances.

12 CFR 325

Legal Deadline:

None

Abstract:

The interagency rulemaking revises risk-based capital standards by addressing the regulatory capital treatment of recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes that expose banks, bank holding companies, and thrifts to credit risk. The revision treats recourse obligations and direct credit substitutes more consistently than under the agencies' current risk-based capital standards. In addition, the revision allows the agencies to use credit ratings and certain alternative approaches to match the risk-based capital requirement more closely to a banking organization's relative risk of loss in asset securitizations. The rulemaking also requires the sponsor of a revolving credit securitization that involves an early amortization feature to hold capital against the amount of assets under management; i.e., the off balance sheet securitized receivables. The rulemaking is intended to result in more consistent treatment of recourse obligations and similar transactions among the agencies, more consistent risk-based capital treatment for certain types of transactions involving similar risk, and capital requirements that more closely reflect a banking organization's relative exposure to credit risk. This rulemaking and the rulemaking on residual interests (see 3064-AC34) are interrelated in that both address the regulatory capital treatment for residual interests in securitizations and other financial asset transfers. The agencies participating in these two rulemakings are ensuring that the treatment of residual interests will be consistent and may issue a single combined final rule rather than separate final rules.

3847. CAPITAL; LEVERAGE AND RISK-BASED CAPITAL GUIDELINES; CAPITAL ADEQUACY GUIDELINES; CAPITAL MAINTENANCE: RESIDUAL INTERESTS IN ASSET SECURITIZATIONS OR OTHER TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

CFR Citation: (To search for a specific CFR, visit the Code of Federal Regulations.)

12 CFR 325

Legal Deadline:

None

Abstract:

This interagency rulemaking amends capital rules to restrict excessive concentrations in residual interests by limiting the amounts that are included in Tier 1 capital for both leverage and risk-based capital purposes. Residual interests in excess of this limitation would be deducted from Tier 1 capital. The rulemaking also requires that risk-based capital be held in an amount equal to the amount of residual interests that are within this limitation. This rulemaking and the rulemaking on recourse and direct credit substitutes (see 3064-AB31) are interrelated in that both address the regulatory capital treatment for residual interests in securitizations and other financial asset transfers. The agencies participating in these two rulemakings are ensuring that the treatment of residual interests will be consistent and may issue a single combined final rule rather than separate final rules.
